Gmail issue

Hi,
I found that a mail was sent to one of my gmail contacts, with a pic attached, which I never remember of sending. Also I checked the time of the sent mail and I wasn't using gmail then.

I checked the last account activity and I found it was sent from my mobile.
I also checked for apps on phone that had access to mails, but there were none. So, I uninstalled the Gmail app's updates and disabled Background data and Auto sync.

(Android version 2.3, Enabled 2step verification long time ago, no apps on phone with access to personal data and mail, background data sync was enabled, 3G)

Since this pic was mailed from my phone automatically and as I didnt have any known malicious apps, is it possible to figure out what went wrong??
 
There's a share setting in Gallery. Includes Picasa, Gmail, and a few others. Did you possibly hit one of those selections accidently?

No I remember not doing that. But even in that case it would have opened the Gmail compose interface right? and one should have selected the recipient and clicked send right? I didn't do that :confused:
 
If there's no recipient it usually sits in drafts. Would doing a send all include drafts? Or maybe an option to include draft that you didn't see?

I keep sending "voice" texts - where you dictate. I can't seem to back out or cancel the stupid things. I've usually hit voice in error. It just sends the text even if you quit.
